Beauty Marked! A Fab Foot Scrub

Last week I asked you to come beauty marking with me to help me find a new fab foot cream.

Last week I asked you to come beauty marking with me to help me find a new fab foot cream. I bought this Cake Beauty Cake Walk Triplemint Foot Cream, $16, and totally and utterly fell in love with it!

I thought if I could love something this much then you guys probably had your own favorite foot products to share too. Boy was I right! You all did an awesome job beauty marking and I've featured three of your choices below. To see all of the beauty marked foot creams, click here.

Beauty Mark #1 found by missixty02 is called Bliss Foot Patrol, $26. This fab foot cream is ultra creamy, ultra smooth and ultra minty! Made with peppermint, aloe vera and salicylic acid, it immediately exfoliates, softens and soothes your tired dogs!

Perhaps they are throwing you some Benjamins to help relieve some of the financial burden or, better yet, maybe they are footing the bill for your entire dream wedding extravaganza!

Under $50

This Kate Spade Library Stripe Silver plated Frame, $40, is a great way to show your parents how much you care. Add in a picture of your choice and frame it for them to display. A memorable picture idea is a professional engagement photo of you and your fiance or a picture of your whole family together. They will love it!

All parents really want to see is that you put some thought into it. This will be a huge hit! The frame is silver plated, has a classic looking shape with etched vertical stripes down the left side. Available in 3x3, 4x6 and 8x10 sizes.

Thanks to atoxicsparkle and her Beauty Product Junkies Blushing Bride Challenge, where you can see a slough of bellissima blushes in cream, powder and stain forms perfect for all types of brides. You gals have created a really beautiful blog entry, so I decided to share three picks from the post for all to see! Keep up the great work! To see more user favorites, click here.

flutterpie's recommendation is Bobbi Brown's Bridal Face Palette, $50. Although this is technically discontinued, there are many of them still available and brand new on eBay. I am anxious to check this out actually. In theory it sounds fabulous, but it's surprisingly gotten a lot of mixed reviews.

audreystar 's choice for the best all-time bridal blush is MAC's Powder Blush in Dessert Rose, $18. This is an awesome pick. I am a huge fan of this color - in fact my Mom has been wearing it for years. I guess Mom really does know best, huh?

Beth Lauren Gold-Filled Rope Bracelet: Love It or Hate It?

Rachel Bilson recently sported this Beth Lauren Braided 14K Gold-Filled Rope Bracelet, $170, while out and about in Los Angeles.

Rachel Bilson recently sported this Beth Lauren Braided 14K Gold-Filled Rope Bracelet, $170, while out and about in Los Angeles. It can be worn as a bracelet, necklace or a lariat. I am torn about this item. I like that it's rugged and unique, but can't really see myself wearing it. What do you think?

Trend Alert

Wedding Gown Trend Alert: New Necklines

We all remember strapless was a big hit on the red carpet this year, so it's no surprise the decolletage exposing neckline was popular at the bridal shows as well.

We all remember strapless was a big hit on the red carpet this year, so it's no surprise the decolletage exposing neckline was popular at the bridal shows as well. But I must say: let's mix it up a bit girls! The honest truth is that the neck and shoulders aren't every woman's best feature. I am happy to report that there are many other new necklines to choose from. An asymmetrical or off-shoulder neckline adds drama and intrigue to a wedding look. I would keep the jewelry to a minimal, maybe a pair of beautiful studs, and have a fantastic face to complement your unique gown. To see my other wedding gown trend alerts click here!

Celebrity Style: Cameron Diaz

Not many gals can pull off this look - you have to be slim and have dangerous limbs that won't quit.

Not many gals can pull off this look - you have to be slim and have dangerous limbs that won't quit. But if you fall into this category (lucky!) one of my mottos is: if you've got it flaunt it! We've been seeing Cam workout like a madwoman lately, and she proves that persistence really pays off. Here she is in the streets of NYC and what a sight to see. I've always dug the mini with boots look, though I think she could have jazzed up this look with some gold jewelry. But we all know Cam is a surfer girl at heart and all she needs is a sun kissed look and she's ready to go.

Beauty Byte: Jessica Alba as Revlon Model

Jessica Alba has been looking a bit casual lately, even at award shows.


Jessica Alba has been looking a bit casual lately, even at award shows. But come Summer, we're going to see a more dolled up Jessica because it has been reported that the actress is going to be the next face of Revlon, alongside her "Fantastic Four" costar Beau Garrett.

Not only will we be seeing Jessica's beautiful face in ads, she will also be starring in a commercial for the 3D Extreme Mascara that comes out in July. Beau will represent the brand for various products which will be released in 2008.

Jessica and Beau aren't the first actresses to represent Revlon. Halle Berry, Eva Mendes and Sheryl Crow have all graced the beauty company's campaigns.

Congrats gals! You're going to make a fantastic two.

Look of the Day

Look of the Day: Red Hot

High-waisted is in and Igottrouble is wearing it so well in her red hot outfit!

High-waisted is in and Igottrouble is wearing it so well in her red hot outfit! I love the color of the skirt, as well as the length. I don't normally care for wife-beaters but it totally works here. While her little flats are adorable, another option is to dress up this look with a hot pair of wood-heeled wedges.

Here's what she has on:

  • Tank Top: Hanes
  • Red Skirt: Vintage YSL
  • Shoes: Sugar

Congrats to Igottrouble!
